We lifted anchor this morning and headed for Pruth Bay, another beautiful bay with a fantastic beach to explore. Pruth Bay is also home to Hakai Lodge. Once a premier fishing resort on a beach nestled in a valley of trees, it is in the process of being converted to a retreat center. Instead of making a straight course for Pruth Bay, we decided to take advantage of the myriad islands and go exploring. As of WWII, many of these islands didn’t have names, but the servicemen patrolling these waters needed to be able to provide landmarks and descriptions to each other so they named the islands and inlets themselves, thus explaining such names as Hurricane Island, Spitfire Island, and Convoy Passage. One could spend weeks exploring all of these islands, but we only had a few hours which we thoroughly enjoyed. Once in Pruth Bay, Mystic Eagle and Inside Passage anchored in the interior bay while Deception, Navigator, and Arctic Star rafted together in the outer bay. Hakai Lodge is very inviting with its beautiful location and maintained grounds. They are going to see if they are able to create a dinner for us tonight at such late notice which would be a welcomed pleasure.
